3rd Shoot Day @ Jack Cham's 13/05/12

Before the shoot me and Rob went into town to pick up some dark curtains to try and block the sunlight from coming through the big windows that are at Jack Cham's, one to make the place look more little a seedy environment and secondly we were thinking that it would make the girls that were due to come down and play zombie dancers feel more comfortable and wouldn't have to worry so much about prying eyes from any passers by.

Again as our last shoot at Jack Cham's we had a no-show with regards to dancers and again we were also let down on extras that we had due to come down to gives us a hand. This had ruined my plan for a second angle for the interview with our actor Nathan with commotion and dancers in the background, which I felt would have be a very nicely composed shot giving the scene more atmosphere and setting the tone of environment that our character is working in. Instead I had to settle for concentrating on getting cutaway shots of the 2 dancers that we did have available to us; and using the couple of extras we had; tried to compose shots that would look like a seedy strip bar with paying customers. Again I had Damian on a second camera capturing shots from a different perspective and to make best use out of the cameras that we had; Rob and Ross also helped with some of the filming.

The plan of the shoot wasn't completely ruined as we still had to shoot a scene with Nathan were he is putting away one of the zombie dancers into the basement whilst being interviewed by Rob; though at the time of shooting this scene we one had one dancer on set; Damian had to have to fill in for the arm reaching out of the basement, so I asked Ross to jump in as Second camera operator for the scene and also asked Brad (who had come down to help and be a extra on set) to operate a third camera capturing footage of us documenting the mocku-mentary. Though I had originally planned a more movement following shot with the shoulder rig for this scene, due to the lack of numbers in the bar, I thought that it would be best to keep the shot simple as to not break the flow of the interview with a shot that would show a desolate bar.
